I'm going to remove the Strano Bar tonight and maybe reduce the ride height a bit to bring the rear camber back closer to where it was. I'm not sure what my f/r ride height was before though.

If there's an o ring on it should be a normal metric thread, if there's no oring it's probably a tapered thread. I'd guess 3/8" NPT if so.
